Dear Sir

I write in a violent hurry. Your Letter has never arrived

had of the Letter or of the Drawing. I have fetchd the Drawing
L33.1Hayley12'03; E738|
from Mr Rose & have shewd it to Mr. Flaxman who
approves of it
L33.1Hayley12'03; E738|
wishing only that the Monument itself may be more made out & the
L33.1Hayley12'03; E738|
other Monument in the back Ground kept in a lower tint. The
L33.1Hayley12'03; E738|

I have seen Mr Saunders & enquird of him whether he has
any
L33.3Hayley12'03; E739|
of Mr Romneys [Sketches] Historical Sketches. he says
L33.3Hayley12'03; E739|
that he sent a great part of them to the North & explaind the
L33.3Hayley12'03; E739|
North by saying that [Mr Romney] Mr John Romney
has a
L33.3Hayley12'03; E739|
dwelling in the north-- Mr Flaxman supposes that if some of
the
L33.3Hayley12'03; E739|
most distinguishd designs of Mr Romney of which Mr
Saunders has a
L33.3Hayley12'03; E739|
good many were Engravd they would be an appropriate accompaniment
L33.3Hayley12'03; E739|
to the Life of Romney the expense would not be very great & the
L33.3Hayley12'03; E739|
merit of the designs an object of consequence.
L33.4Hayley12'03; E739|
Mr Saunders will shortly write to you giving you every
L33.4Hayley12'03; E739|
information in his power with notices of where Mr Romneys <best>

L33.5Hayley12'03; E739|
recieve with this & have only time to say because I shall be too
